No, this isn’t about what you see on the news, Chicago is NOT Chi-Raq.

Chicago is Chicago.

It’s like when outsiders talk about Chicago they see this:

When really Chicago is the only place where you can get a 6 piece fried hard w/ extra mild sauce, where you can freely say “that lil mf decent”, where footworking is a traditional dance,

Where going to The Rink was like being baptized or a rite of passage,

where the intersection on Stony Island almost claimed your life not once but twice, where there was a candy store on every corner, where we say “g”, where being called a goofy hurts more than salt in your wounds,
